mascots

Remember that 'Let's Get This Bread' meme? Well, it's back. Kinda. As people commend the essential workers toiling away in the face of  the pandemic, people on Twitter have started a meme featuring mascots and other costumed workers wondering why the hell they're going in. While the premise of a weary Chuck E. Cheese lamenting essential worker status is funny, there really are some integral laborers who should be receiving a hell of a lot of respect. So while we laugh at Ronald McDonald and the rest of these jokey tweets, let's hear it for the people on the front lines. 

After Twitter user Jay posted a motivational photo of himself going off to work in his Baskin Robbins mascot costume, others who work as mascots followed suit by posting themselves in their absurd uniforms. The whole thing has turned out to be oddly inspirational.
